Seriously? 5 months to create a product (assuming you don't have anything right now, based on the not-existing pictures & the scenes from Iron Man as the product video)?

That won't work.

Also, what about 'iWatch'? It obviously features the iOS keyboard and homescreen.

you are right, but we are working in stealth; only to save the fun for a launch. The problem with showcasing the product too early is someone emails you claiming the troll IP, and it happened.

So it's basically a month or so after the prototype phase, what's the progress? I see some nice photoshop mock-ups, but where's the tech demo. I can say from personal experience, the heart-rate monitoring from the wrist is very difficult - bloodflow noise (generally a low SNR), bad data (constant movement or loose connection), and beefy processing (for a wristwatch at least) to get anything better than guessing.

some good points there; the tech demo is currently using a flexible eink display powered with a beagleboard. Heart rate monitor is difficult and we are licensing the software that optimises down to everybeat for athletic applications.It's an attempt, should make a lot of progress.
